WEBVTT DEVELOPMENT YOU SAW FIRST ON 7. ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAY, THEY'VE RELEASED "ALL" THE VIDEO AND AUDIO THEY HAVE, FROM THE JAMES BOYD SHOOTING IN THE ALBUQUERQUE FOOTHILLS. BUT ACTION 7 NEWS HAS LEARNED, A CRITICAL PIECE OF POLICE VIDEO DOESN'T EXIST. VIDEO FROM THE LAPEL CAMERA OF DETECTIVE KEITH SANDY - ONE OF THE OFFICERS WHO SHOT JAMES BOYD. ALBUQUERQUE POLICE RELEASED 36 OTHER VIDEO CLIPS. THEY SHOWED HOURS OF NEGOTIATION. Officer: What you need to do is, put your hands on top of your head. Boyd: I can't do that. Officer: We're not here to cross with you or do anything you know what I mean EVENTUALLY, BOYD APPEARED WILLING TO SURRENDER. THEN OFFICERS USED A FLASH-BANG AND OPENED FIRE. BOYD WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT DIED. IT'S YET ANOTHER CASE WHERE AN ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED A PERSON... BUT HAD NO VIDEO TO SHOW FOR IT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD BE OVERHAULING ITS LAPEL CAMERA POLICY... BUT IT'S BEEN WEEKS SINCE WE'VE HEARD HOW IT'S GOING. KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER MEGAN CRUZ CHECKS BACK IN WITH OFFICIALS TONIGHT. SOT IN MAY, OFFICER BRIAN FUCHS SHOT RALPH CHAVEZ. IN APRIL, OFFICER JEREMY DEAR SHOT 19-YEAR-OLD MARY HAWKES. IN MARCH, OFFICER KEITH SANDY SHOT HOMELESS CAMPER JAMES BOYD. AND IN EACH OF THESE SHOOTINGS, POLICE SAY THE OFFICERS DID NOT HAVE VIDEO OF WHEN THEY FIRED THEIR GUNS. OFFICIALS SAY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. We need the cameras on and we need them on all the time. THAT'S MAYOR RICHARD BERRY'S TAKE ON THIS LACK OF LAPEL VIDEO PROBLEM. HE SAYS ALBUQUERQUE POLICE CHIEF GORDEN EDEN HAS BEEN WORKING TO MAKE SURE OFFICERS ALWAYS TURN ON THEIR CAMERAS. We need to have stiffer penalties for not doing that and more accountability measures, absolutely. And that's being worked on right now because it's important. OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE NEW POLICY SINCE LAST MONTH. WHY THE HOLD UP? MAYOR BERRY SAYS IT'S A COMPLEX ISSUE. HE'S HOPING FROM HELP FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Don't want to put it out before we get their input because they may some great value to add to that discussion as well 01:48 MEGAN: what's so complicated about if you don't turn it on, you get disciplined like this? MAYOR: It's a fair question and that's what we're working on. Most of the time, they do get turned on, when they don't and here's incidents that happen that are critical, that's not what we want. RIGHT NOW, THE LAPEL CAMERA POLICY IS THAT OFFICERS MUST RECORD CALLS INVOLVING SEARCH WARRANTS, CERTAIN TYPES OF ARRESTS, OR IF THAT CALL COULD RESULT IN COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT. THE CHIEF DECIDES HOW AN OFFICER IS PUNISHED FOR DISOBEYING THIS POLICY. GUIDELINES SUGGEST A WRITTEN REPRIMAND FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE... A 10-DAY SUSPENSION FOR THE 3RD OFFENSE. AND THERE'S NO WORD ON WHETHER SANDY OR THE OTHER OFFICERS HAVE BEEN DISCIPLINED FOR NOT HAVING LAPEL VIDEO. IN A STATEMENT, CHIEF EDEN SAYS, "THE BOYD CASE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. APD CANNOT COMMENT ON ANY PERSONNEL MATTERS INVOLVING STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES." SEVERE WEATHER IS HITTING PARTS OF THE STATE RIGHT NOW. LET'S CHECK IN WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ. A SEVERE
